The endoscope shaft of making by composite material tube
Technical field
The present invention relates to the endoscope shaft made by composite material tube, particularly relate to comprise an outer tube, one than this outer tube soft and/or more resilient in pipe and being used to increase the helical spring endoscope shaft of making by composite material tube of the rigidity of composite material tube.
Background technology
Recently, endoscope is inserted the distance that reaches 2.5m in patient's the colon, to check and treatment patient's pathology change in organization when needing, cancer for example, polyp (polypi), anal fistula etc.In order to overcome this extremely long insertion distance, the driving device that is made of the pipe that turns up that surrounds endoscope shaft is equipped with in new endoscope.Utilize this driving device that endoscope shaft is advanced, and centripetal force is added on the endoscope shaft.
From the level of present technical merit, particularly applicant, in the scope of many patent publications, disclose and comprise and to drive endoscope shaft forward and this endoscope of the tube drive device that turns up backward.This endoscope is made of the endoscope shaft of inserting and slide in the pipe that turns up basically.This pipe that turns up constitutes (two pipe design of turning up) by pvc pipe or the far-end and the silicone on the near-end that turn up in endoscope shaft, and driving device is then on the core of this pipe.The associated end at this pipe in the outside of turning up is directed to this driving device and is fixed on the housing of this driving device.
This driving device itself is made up of successive advancement mechanism with a plurality of driving wheels or a crawler belt or discontinuous driving mechanism.Basically, this driving device only drives the pipe that turns up, and this pipe that turns up is added in driving force on the endoscope shaft again.For this purpose, this driving device and driving mechanism thereof respectively with the tube portion CONTACT WITH FRICTION of turning up of inside, and rely on friction centripetal force to be passed to the tube portion that turns up of this inside.This centripetal force that produces on the interior face portion of this pipe that turns up makes the far-end of this pipe that the turns up part of turning up produce and to travel forward, and contact and slip thereon with block on being fixed on endoscope shaft.Therefore, the far-end of this pipe that turns up the travelling forward and passing to endoscope shaft of part of turning up by this block, thus make the latter enter the tube portion that turns up of this inside.
Because the condition of motion, the pace of the tube portion that turns up of the inside of this pipe that turns up is the twice of the pace of endoscope shaft, therefore needs relative sliding motion to make synchronized movement.
As can be known, for enough centripetal forces being passed to the inner tube portion that turns up, driving mechanism must be pressed on the contact force of predetermined minimum on the inner tube portion that turns up from the above-mentioned explanation of the state of the art.Yet this causes endoscope shaft that impression is arranged in the zone of driving mechanism basically.In addition, must overcome in this position in endoscope shaft and inner bigger friction of turning up between the tube portion.This has only the sufficient lubrication endoscope shaft just may realize.Find that in addition driving mechanism makes the endoscope shaft distortion in short stroke or long stroke, this causes the pipe that turns up inhomogeneous with endoscope shaft feeding therein.
In order endoscope to be inserted distance above-mentioned in patient's colon, endoscope shaft must have high flexible and elasticity.But this and endoscope shaft form the essential character contradiction of enough inflexible rear supports of driving mechanism.
Because the defective that above-mentioned existing endoscope shaft exists, the inventor is based on being engaged in this type of product design manufacturing abundant for many years practical experience and Professional knowledge, and the utilization of cooperation scientific principle, actively studied innovation, in the hope of founding a kind of endoscope shaft of making by composite material tube of new construction, can improve general existing endoscope shaft, make it have more practicality.Through constantly research, design, and, create the present invention who has practical value finally through after studying sample and improvement repeatedly.
Summary of the invention
Consider these problems, the objective of the invention is to provide a kind of endoscope shaft of making by composite, this material has enough elasticity, can be as the rear support of the driving device of the pipe that turns up that surrounds endoscope shaft, and the friction between the pipe of turning up that also can reduce endoscope shaft and surround it.
According to the present invention, this purpose can utilize the endoscope shaft of being made by composite of the characteristics that comprise claim 1 to reach.
Of the present invention further specifying is the thing of dependent claims.
Thereby, the endoscope shaft that core of the present invention is made by the composite material tube with outer tube and and/or interior pipe that elasticity big softer than outer tube for manufacturing, and the inflexible helical spring that increases composite material tube.According to the present invention, under relaxed state, this helical spring external diameter is bigger than the internal diameter (slightly) of this interior pipe.This helical spring insert should in the pipe, especially under predetermined spring biasing (depending on spring rate and radial dimension), this helical spring loosely insert should in the pipe, thereby at radial compaction in this on pipe.
Like this, helical spring is as the improved rear support of the driving device of then placing for endoscope shaft, not still because the rigidity of its material, and be, can prevent like this because the radial deformation of the endoscope shaft that the persistent thrust effect of driving device causes because it is installed with radial offset.
According to another aspect of the present invention, provide the endoscope shaft that comprises an outer tube, the external peripheral surface of this outer tube has helicoidal structure.In other words, the external peripheral surface of this pipe forms along the axial direction of this pipe depression or the ledge with spiral extension.
Best, selection helical spring thrust that radially outwards acts on the pipe in this is bigger, and feasible helical spring according to first aspect passes through to manage in this and the wall of outer tube extrudes a structure in the outside of outer tube.In addition, preferably the structure in this outer tube outside corresponding to this helical spring spring coil.This has individual advantage to be, can center on the endoscope shaft relative motion as the pipe that turns up of driving device, and the driving force of effect driving device thereon and the contact surface of endoscope shaft reduce, and can make endoscope shaft and the friction of turning up between the pipe reduces.
In addition, the tangible outboard structure that becomes (surface texture) forms the reception recess (pit) of collecting the lubricant that is pressed into, can more reduce friction like this.
This helical spring of preferred design makes it have different spring rates and/or gradient and/or external diameter on its axial length in this sense, with the elasticity of the endoscope shaft of optimizing the each several part on the length of 2.5m.
Then, the invention provides the endoscope that comprises the tube drive device that turns up, this driving device is made up of the driving tube of the secondary that turns up that is surrounded by a driving device.This driving device comprises and this driving tube frictional engagement, and centripetal force is added in driving part (for example friction pulley) on this driving tube.According to the present invention, the endoscope shaft with These characteristics is directed in this driving tube slides, and forms radially rear support for driving part.
Above-mentioned explanation only is the general introduction of technical solution of the present invention, for can clearer understanding technological means of the present invention, and can be implemented according to the content of description, and for above-mentioned and other purposes, feature and advantage of the present invention can be become apparent, below especially exemplified by preferred embodiment, and conjunction with figs., be described in detail as follows.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the side view of the endoscope shaft of endoscope of the present invention.
The specific embodiment
Reach technological means and the effect that predetermined goal of the invention is taked for further setting forth the present invention, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and preferred embodiment, the specific embodiment, structure, feature and the effect thereof of the endoscope shaft of making by composite material tube that foundation the present invention is proposed, describe in detail as after.
Utilize preferred embodiment to explain the present invention below with reference to an accompanying drawing.Fig. 1 represents the side view according to the endoscope shaft of endoscope of the present invention, and it comprises the tube drive device that turns up according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
This endoscope shaft is made of the composite material tube 1 of the outer surface with so-called friction optimization.Specifically, two co-extruded or the bonding pipe be made up of pipe in and outer tube of this composite material tube forms.Pipe is by the material manufacture softer than outer tube in being somebody's turn to do.Guarantee the minimum flexible of card composite material tube in being somebody's turn to do, and this outer tube guarantees minimum deformation drag and good frictional behavior in its surface.Specifically, shore hardness of pipe is about Xiao Shi A60 in this, and the shore hardness of this outer tube is about Xiao Shi A92.In addition, pipe is best by the PVC material manufacture in this, and outer tube is by the PUR material manufacture.
Helical spring 2 clamped (interpolation) is in composite material tube 1, to increase radial rigidity.
Specifically, under relaxed state, internal diameter of pipe is slightly littler than the external diameter of helical spring 2 in this.In order to add operation, this spring 2 is reversed, so its diameter reduces.Then, in this, on the basic total length of pipe, this spring is inserted in the internal diameter of pipe in this, and make it lax.Like this, the diameter of helical spring 2 broadens, and this helical spring produces radial force on this composite material tube 1, and this composite material tube 1 is broadened a little.
Specifically, the radially clamping force of the helical spring 2 of insertion makes and can see one spring coil in the outside of composite material tube 1, thereby sees the radial protrusion that has a little and the spiral ribs figure of indenture.The geometry of this spring is preferably rectangle, so that utilize the restoring force of composite material tube 1 or the thrust of driving device of the endoscope of this endoscope shaft is housed, gets rid of the inclination of the spring 2 that inserts to greatest extent.In addition, the geometry of this orthogonal spring increases the internal diameter freely (composite material tube and flat spring are together) of this composite material tube.
In the process of the endoscopic procedure of finishing,, promptly, clamp this composite material tube 1 and flat spring 3 this nozzle first line of a couplet ground connection from the lubricating nozzle 4 of the outstanding metalwork of backend arrangement of patient's body orifice at the near-end of this composite material tube 1.
As another interchangeable form of above-mentioned rectangle spring geometry, also can design circular or oval-shaped spring.In addition, also can use spring with two different gradients on the longitudinal direction of spring.Like this, the rigidity of composite material tube 1 is the function of its length.This is favourable to intracolic " travel distance " optimized patient.
Also have another to optimize used helical spring scheme, promptly in the stride that on the longitudinal direction of this spring, normally separates, change the external diameter of this spring.Based on observation, promptly according to the above description, this helical spring is given special structure in the outside of composite material tube, and this structure can form in a different manner securely at the longitudinal direction of this composite material tube.Advantage and effect according to the design of the endoscope shaft of the endoscope that the tube drive device that turns up is housed of the present invention are summarized as follows.
As described in beginning, the endoscope that described endoscope shaft is housed comprises the tube drive device that turns up, and this driving device is made of the pipe that the secondary that is surrounded by a driving device turns up, in order to transmit friction feed power.This driving device makes the driving part, and for example driving wheel or crawler belt and radial interior tube portion CONTACT WITH FRICTION are managed in the longitudinal direction driving of the pipe that turns up is somebody's turn to do.This actuation movement of the tube portion that turns up of this inside passes to the endoscope shaft that can move relatively in this turns up pipe in the zone of turning up that hold preceding (far) and/or the back (closely) of this pipe that turns up.Because in the described reason of beginning, this ability that relatively moves between the interior tube portion of endoscope shaft and this driving tube has outstanding importance.
In order to form enough CONTACT WITH FRICTION, this driving part must be pressed on this inside tube portion that turns up with radial force.For this reason, this inside endoscope shaft can be used as the rear support of this driving part.Obviously, increase in this position endoscope shaft and inner friction of turning up between the tube portion.
Should be taken into account for two kinds of materials of this function optimization use.That is to say, soft guarantee that the card endoscope shaft travels forward in elastic, enter patient's colon, at this moment endoscope shaft is flexibly followed the bending of colon, can not widen colon excessively.Guarantee rigidity with the harder outer tube of endoscope's central siphon of inside, can be used as the rear support of the driving part of the tube drive device that turns up like this in radial predetermined minimum.So as can be known, the wall thickness of pipe was little a lot of in the wall thickness of outer tube was comparable, still can keep enough radial rigidities.
The helical spring that inserts in the interior pipe with interior pipe (loosely) that relatively radial dimension is big is widened whole composite material tube, and the impression of spring coil is arranged in the outside of outer tube.This helical spring is supported the rear support function of outer tube, and helps endoscope shaft in the feeding process, and driven device does not push or radial deformation in the zone that drives part.This helical spring increases the elasticity of endoscope shaft a little on its total length.At last, cause that the contact surface that turns up between the pipe that the spiral type circumferential groove on the outside of outer tube makes endoscope shaft and surrounds the driving of this endoscope shaft reduces by helical spring radial compaction power.Because this area supported reduces, endoscope shaft and the frictional force of turning up between the pipe reduce.At last, this groove forms the lubricant pit, and the lubricant that turns up between the pipe that is pressed into endoscope shaft and driving is stored in wherein.
The above, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not that the present invention is done any pro forma restriction, though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, yet be not in order to limit the present invention, any those skilled in the art, in not breaking away from the technical solution of the present invention scope, when the method that can utilize above-mentioned announcement and technology contents are made a little change or be modified to the equivalent embodiment of equivalent variations, in every case be the content that does not break away from technical solution of the present invention, according to technical spirit of the present invention to any simple modification that above embodiment did, equivalent variations and modification all still belong in the scope of technical solution of the present invention.
